Overflowing with musical invention, Beethoven re-wrote the symphonic rulebook for all time. The Aurora Orchestra is another ground-breaking phenomenon, celebrated for its memorised performances of complete symphonies - not an experience to miss. Nicola Benedetti opens the programme with Mendelssohn's evergreen Violin Concerto, a work of extraordinary originality and packed with wonderful tunes. In addition, there will be an interactive introduction from Broadcaster Tom Service and conductor Nicholas Collon.
